Md. Gun, Knife Show Sees Increase In Attendance

More than 30,000 people flocked to the Maryland State Fairgrounds in Timonium this weekend for a three-day gun and knife show.

Event vendors said curiosity about gun restrictions and national talks about renewing the assault weapons ban prompted high turnout at this year's event.

According to licensed gun dealer Neil Kravitz, the line outside the show wrapped around the building when the doors first opened Friday morning. He called it "panic purchasing."
